Launch Support Checklist
Prepare the first support surfaces before users arrive: stuck pages, starter answers, docs, tickets, and widget verification.

Open Pre-Onboarding Kit
Quick answer
Start with the pages where users get stuck, prepare starter support truth, review first answers, then install and verify the widget before launch.
Start with stuck pages
A launch support setup does not need every possible answer on day one. It needs the pages where a new user is most likely to pause, misread a plan, miss a setting, or hit an error.
AnswerLattice works best when the first support map is tied to concrete product surfaces instead of a broad help center wish list.
- List billing, onboarding, settings, invite, integration, release, and error pages.
- Mark the 2-5 pages that create the highest launch risk.
- Write the expected or recurring questions for each page in plain language.
Prepare starter support truth
Use docs, FAQs, release notes, setup notes, policies, product screenshots, and owner notes as starter truth. Keep unsupported guesses out of the source package.
- Use reviewed links where possible.
- Include owner notes for known confusing flows.
- Mark missing or blocked sources as not available instead of inventing coverage.
Verify before launch
- Approved answers are reviewed before fallback.
- The widget runs only on allowed origins.
- Blocked routes stay blocked.
- Users can create fallback tickets when answer coverage is missing.
- First support gaps have a review owner.
FAQ
Do we need existing support volume before using this checklist?
No. The checklist is useful for live, beta, and near-launch products with starter support truth and expected support questions.
